With Windows Mixed Reality1, you can escape the everyday into a world of imagination. Personalize your virtual home with great content—travel, sports, culture, live concerts, games like Minecraft, and more. Surround yourself with apps from 20K available titles: Run movies in your virtual theater, open a browser on a second screen. It's your own multiplex of multiple apps and you're at the center of every adventure.

More innovation, more exhilaration

Windows Mixed Reality1 uses superior technology to deliver the best experience possible. Inside-out tracking is built into your headset to deliver precise movement fidelity with no need to install hardware on your walls. Spatial audio lets you hear sounds from specific locations just like in the real world, and your advanced motion controller makes it easy to move through virtual spaces. The combined effect is a sensation where your virtual and physical worlds are in perfect sync.

Fast, easy setup

Windows Mixed Reality has the quickest, easiest setup available—you're good to go in 10 minutes or less.2 It also remembers the spaces you've already set up, so you can jump right into awesome experiences without delay. Best of all, you're not confined to a specific desk, chair, or room. And since no external sensors are required, you're ready to enjoy fantastic experiences anywhere in your house.

Step into brilliant new worlds

The Samsung HMD Odyssey features a high-resolution AMOLED display which delivers bright, clear graphics. Action never sounded better with built-in premium AKG headphones. Plus, it's the only Mixed Reality headset to feature an integrated microphone array built directly into the headset, which reduces noise, so you can communicate clearly and even interact with Cortana.

Enter the world of mixed reality

The best way to experience mixed reality is with a new Windows Mixed Reality-ready PC. You’ll enjoy crisp realistic movement, immersive visuals, and spatial audio. For the most vivid graphics, a 90 frames per second refresh rate, and an expanded selection of experiences, choose Windows Mixed Reality Ultra.

Motion controllers included

Motion controllers are key to the best trips in Windows Mixed Reality. They offer complete freedom of movement and let you interact in a natural way so you can pick up items, use weapons, and control other characters. They also feature haptic feedback, thumbsticks, and button control, so you can easily navigate around every game.

Review title of DavidThis IS the VR Headset you are looking for

Amazing headset! I have been following VR for many years, reading reviews, trying different ones - including the Vive, Rift, and PSVR. I have 20/20 vision and things like the screen door effect and God rays on the rift/vive completely ruin it for me. The screens on them really aren't up to par. The psvr doesn't suffer from these issues, but it has a noticeably lower resolution and aliasing. This was the year I decided to take the plunge into VR, but was left disappointed, UNTIL I tried VR on this headset with Windows mixed reality and SteamVR. I really believe WMR coupled with Steam for gaming is the future for VR and MR, and with the Samsung Odyssey you have built in headphones, a mic, the highest resolution screens available and because of this - no noticeable screen door effect and alot less God rays. The setup and the tracking are just as good as the Vive. The Samsung Odyssey is top quality and is exactly what I have been looking for. Look no further, this is the best!

Well it has been almost two months since the purchase.
The headset is great .The video in the display immerses you into the VR world. The headphones ( on ear type ) could use a bit of adjustment. I would like to have them fit better on my ears. The controllers work great all kinds of really nice things to enhance the experience. The windows store has not caught up to the offerings on steamvr. I have found that all the games I have tried through Steam have worked excellent.
This is a Windows Mixed Reality device, NOT AN XBOX DEVICE. So many people are making that mistake thinking it will work on xbox it will not. Was never intended for that.
It works very well and the positional sensors are very accurate and in the headset. No external sensors needed. I would purchase again without hesitation. The build quality of the system is of the highest quality.Try it out in the store and see for yourself.
Don't forget to get your free steam account. There are many free vr games available

Review title of GregoryReally good first VR experience

No Technical issues after two months of use. Device is easy to set up anywhere. This makes my architectural visions roar to life. There are certainly minor areas to improve. The 13 feet Cord length is a bit short, but I've been using 15 feet hdmi & usb extension cables with great success in 3DS Max Interactive Architecture models thru Steam VR.

Review title of Mikey ScottBest VR choice right now

I'm not understanding the negative reviews. This headset is amazing. The display is simply the best out there: OLED and the highest resolution available. There's integrated audio, which is vital for a VR experience. And the controllers just work...the games and experiences with them are spot on...and there's nothing to set up in the room. That makes it very portable and easy to demo to other people.
I volunteer in my community (with the schools, the county government on an innovation space, local colleges, computer clubs, etc) and I've been demoing this to tons of people. Everyone is floored.
The only issues I have have nothing to do with the headset. I demoed at my work which only had 6 Mbps internet and that wasn't enough. Upped my service to 50 Mbps and VR works great.
I do wish facebook's VR meeting rooms worked, but that's because facebook locks it to their own technology. Ditto for Google (and therefore youtube) pushing Google cardboard.
Oh, Minecraft VR is here.

Review title of JohnDefinitely worth waiting for

I've been following VR since 2004. I've tried several product in that time up to and including the Rift and Vive. This headset is the first one that I felt met the standards of what a VR headset should be. Great image clarity, wide FOV, perfect tracking, and comfort.
VR isn't new, it has just reached a point of viability for consumer use and this plug-and-play device is at the top of the industry right now. I can play any VR game on the market and also play my non-VR games via VorpX.
NOTE: For those of you with tracking issues remember that it uses cameras, so the room can not be dark. Also, the cameras have to be able to see discernable features so you can't be facing a blank wall. Put up some pictures or posters .

Review title of Alokeshwarbad quality.

I think I was sent a used and returned product as plastic wrapping was already crushed and wrapped loosely. I however tried this. The 360 video will play only sound and no display, just black screen. The MR app frequently shows no network error even when PC is connected. Resolution is so bad that it's impossible to read anything unless you are really close in VR. Left controller went crazy several times, it's pointer would just move back and forth in one place and wouldn't point at where I wanted it to. It did so for many seconds at a time. Super annoying.

Review title of MarkVery comfortable even with glasses

The manual for the Samsung HMD Odyssey states that you should not wear it with glasses as you could damage your face when you remove the headset. I have not found this to be a problem. The front of the Odyssey pulls out on a spring so it is easy to slide it over your glasses. Once on, it is very comfortable, even more so than the PSVR which was the most comfortable I had tried previously. It is far better than an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive which have a diving mask design that will drive your glasses and frames into your flesh which is very uncomfortable after only a few minutes.
The resolution is much better than the PSVR. Everything appears sharp and the colors are vivid. The contrast also appears to be excellent. The one advantage the PSVR has is a diffuser which reduces the visibility of the pixels and adds greatly to the immersion.
The headphones are a very nice addition. They are easily adjusted up, down forward and back so they should fit everyone.
Four stars for no hinge.

Review title of JohnNice addition to Windows

I bought a Rift a year ago, have used it some, but I did not like having to deal with locating the sensors, etc, and that I could not use it with my laptop if I wanted some portability. I have had great experiences with Samsung products, and MS announced the MR addition I looked into the various headsets that were scheduled to launch. I was drawn to the Odyssey for the better lenses, integrated audio, etc. I set it up on my laptop that met all of the minimum specs except the graphics card (950M) and everything works great. Setup was easy, the graphics are excellent, the Cliff House concept works well. I customized my walls, added some holograms for decor, have the Plex app in the tv room also to watch movies and tv from my plex server. Moving around is intuitive. So far I have found the Odyssey and the Mixed Reality experience fun and enjoyable. Once Steam compatibility works it will be all the better. Next is to use it on my desktop which far exceeds the req'd specs.
